Who is Srila Prabhupada - his framework

A framework is a basic yet essential structure which underlies a system and ensures its smooth running. When an organization's framework is strong and is expanded upon creatively and systematically, the success of the organization becomes almost inevitable. When Srila Prabhupada founded the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), he too created an expansive framework to ensure that the society would run efficiently not only during his lifetime, but forever, in order that everybody is made aware of this eternal religion and realizes their love for God.

Srila Prabhupada, a glorious modern sage, shares his love with all he meets, via his profound teachings, which bring to life Lord Chaitanya's message: how to develop pure love for Krishna, or God. Srila Prabhupada's outstanding personality - his transcendental desires, qualities, character and personal history - is abundantly expressed in his lectures, conversations, letters and, to some degree, in his books. An endearing presentation on his framework is found within this Vaniquotes category - I Have Given You The Framework.

An introduction is given below in the following 6 quotes.

People are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. You'll be surprised to know that I was going from London to Nairobi, Africa, and our plane stopped for forty-five minutes in Athens, and as soon as we dropped down, some young men there, in Athens, Greece, they immediately began to chant, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa." So the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement is, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is now well spread all over the world. The framework is there. So anyone can go and preach this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement very easily and people will take it. (Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Lecture, 21 October 1972, Vrndavana)

Now the framework of expansion is done by me, but this, they should be solidified. Just like your skyscraper building.

Now we have to push this movement. It is a very important movement. It is not a farce. It is actually for the benefit of the human society. (Conversation, 25 May 1972, Los Angeles)

Over the past ten years I have given the framework and now we have become more than the British Empire. Even the British Empire was not as expansive as we. They had only a portion of the world, and we have not completed expanding. We must expand more and more unlimitedly. (Letter, 19 May 1976, Honolulu)

You know that. Hard struggle. So Kṛṣṇa gave us some facility. Now we have got some framework. Do it very cautiously. Unnecessarily exhausting what we... sato vṛtteḥ sādhu-saṅge. That is Rūpa Gosvāmī's line. We should be very honest and live with sādhu, those who are devotees. (Conversation, 5 September 1976, Vrndavana)
